(data, algorithm) A technique used in quantisation processes such as graphics and audio to reduce or remove the correlation between noise and signal. Dithering is used in computer graphics to create additional colors and shades from an existing palette by interspersing pixels of different colours. On a monochrome display, areas of grey are created by varying the proportion of black and white pixels.
Without dithering, the colors in the original image might simply be rounded off to the closest available color, resulting in a new image that is a poor representation of the original. Dithering takes advantage of the human eye's tendency to mix two colors in close proximity to one another.
